Event Details:
OPERATION JACK NORTHWEST RUN
Sam Felsenfeld has been on a mission in 2010, his goal has been to raise money and awareness for autism. His son, Jack, is severely autistic and his goal this year is to run at least one marathon every week for a year (61 total for the year). This mission started on January 1st in Texas and will be completed on December 26th in California. Some of his supporters in the northwest are going to be running on December 26th (the same day Sam finishes his journey) in tribute to his mission. Whether you�re a marathoner or just a casual runner come join us as we celebrate Sam's achievement. We ask that each runner completes at least 6.1 miles, but the course will be open for 6.1 hours.If you would like more information about Operation Jack and Sam�s journey, please visit his web site. http://www.operationjack.org

Awards: Each runner will recieve a finishers medal. There will also be a special award for the top male and female runners that run the most miles in the six hours.
